Opinions de Elmer's Restaurant Palm Springs
There’s a reason Elmer’s is packed every weekend for brunch—it’s fantastic! We had to come back twice because it was so busy, but it was well worth the effort. Despite the crowds, service was quick and the atmosphere was buzzing. We ordered: • Belgian Waffles & Eggs Benedict: Classic, perfectly cooked, and delicious. • Grilled Fish Plate: Served with salad, fresh seared veggies and pilaf—a great savory option. The only this is i wish they would keep their restrooms a bit more tidy and restock the napkins but the food portions were generous and everything tasted fresh. We’ll definitely be back the next time we're in Palm Springs!
Visiting Palm Springs we stopped at Elmer’s for breakfast on our way out of town. This is a long established family style restaurant in the Palm Springs area. Bustling with locals and tourists alike, Elmer’s is a breakfast/luncheon spot for hungry folks. Famous for their German style pancakes and creative use of potato cakes, Elmer’s is a Palm Springs legend. Elmer’s is normally quite busy. Can be tough to park at prime times. But the restaurant is large with lots of indoor and outdoor patio seating. Service was very good and they move people through at a very good pace. Not rushed. But attentive with quick made to order cycle times delivering hot / fresh entrees. I was a little worried when we arrived at the size and bustle of the staff. But they did a great job taking our orders, serving, and keeping our coffee full. Very smooth process with great food. Prices are typically $18-$20 an entree for breakfast. - which is unfortunately becoming the norm. The servings are large. Consider sharing if you are not big eaters.
No wait for breakfast seating. Incredibly polite and friendly staff. Very prompt service. We ordered loaded hash browns, hungry rancher breakfast, and the cinnamon rolls pancakes. Everything was very delicious and filling. Portions size are very generous. The highlight was the cinnamon roll pancakes!!!! They should be illegal! We are already to come back tomorrow to order them again. I highly recommend Elmer’s restaurant for breakfast!!
Tried the breakfast combo with their potato pancakes, which our kind waitress recommended. Wow – so good! No other words to describe it. Loved this spot, and can't wait to come back when I'm visiting Palm Springs again in the future.
Came here as we were traveling back home. Was recommended by a friend and said the food was good. We went there and the food was amazing! The staff were friendly and you felt at home there. Definitely my new go too spot when we go to Palm Springs.
My go to diner in Palm Springs. I ordered steak and eggs this time and the steak came out juicy at medium.
Excellent service...Super nice employees stop by and say hi to Elmer at Elmer's...The best biscuits and German pancakes in Palm Springs 🌴 💙🥞
Loved the whole experience! Tried the cinnamon Pancakes and they were absolutely delicious! They come along with egg and hash browns which were awesome too!! Coffee and orange juice tasted amazing as well!! Both my wife and me were stuffed with just one order as the quantities are huge! The staff was very polite and offered to split up the food in to two plates in the kitchen itself so that we both can eat comfortably!
GREAT attentive service! Even when the place is packed. Food arrived quickly & arrived hot. Google review said price range $10-20 but most menu items cost a shade under $20. Add drinks, etc, more like $30 per person. When we arrived told to expect 20-30 minute wait, but got seated immediately after asking about outdoor options.
Outstanding experience! Packed on 29 December 2025. Super friendly staff, delicious food and laid back atmosphere. No wonder it made the 6 million club the past 4 years in a row. Will go back next trip to the desert.
So happy to find this location! Thought they only existed in the PNW. I had to get the German Pancake and Oh My Goodness! It brought me back to my childhood and eating at Elmers in Portland OR!!!
I loved this place. No wait, the orange juice was fresh, the cinnamon roll pancakes were good too, and oh my goodness, the German pancakes were amazing. I’d come back in the future!
Amazing food! The pancakes were so fluffy and tasty. Service was super quick and coffee always refilled. Purchased two mugs for souvenirs too to remember our visit when home ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The food is always INCREDIBLE. There's a reason it's so busy in the morning. Crepes are delicious, all the foods we have tried has been. The servers are kind, and quick. They check on you often, and aren't imposing in a "hurry up" kind of way. Will always eat here when in town.
Huhh 😮💨😮💨 I understand why it’s so busy.. it’s A M A Z I N G Couldn’t choose between the dishes because everything seems absolutely delicious. Heaven for your stomach, believe me. Service also friendly and what a nice detail when the owner lovely Jackie comes by to chat with you 😌 We will be back definitely. Thank you!
Stopped by this place on Labor Day looking for breakfast on the drive home from the weekend. Absolutely loved it! Stuffed hash browns were great, and it's unique to find a place with German pancakes which is a favorite of my wife's. Also family friendly and kids loved the chocolate chip pancakes.
We loved our breakfast at Elmer’s in Palm Springs! The German pancake was light and delicious, and the breakfast was hearty with perfectly cooked eggs, tasty chicken sausage, and a homemade biscuit. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere made it a great start to our day. Highly recommend!
Want to have breakfast any time of the day? Had to Elmer's. An iconic place in PS for a long time. Nice people. Service was good and can get busy. There are other dishes besides breakfast and I am sure there is something for everyone. Wanted to try the famous German pancake. There are three to choose from. Not your traditional pancake batter either. Can only describe as a Yorkshire pudding of sorts. It is good. Give them a shot.
Had a lovely brunch at Elmer’s with my sisters! The service was excellent—very attentive and warm. Our food arrived quickly and was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and very family-friendly, with lots of smiles and good energy all around. A great spot for a relaxed and satisfying meal. We'll definitely be back!
So glad we stopped for brunch. Everything was amazing. We got sat immediately. Server very fast and prompt. Our food was delicious. Had the stuffed hash browns and biscuits and gravy and French toast. 10/10 Definitely going back
A Classic Gem! Elmer’s is such a great spot for breakfast and lunch! The place gives off that cozy, vintage diner vibe that instantly feels welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious – hearty, flavorful, and the portion sizes are generous. You definitely won’t leave hungry! The service also stands out – the waiters are incredibly patient, friendly, and make sure you’re well taken care of. Their customer service is top-notch, which really adds to the whole experience. If you’re looking for a place with great food, nostalgic charm, and outstanding service, Elmer’s is a must-try!😋
Elmer’s in Palm Springs is a hidden gem that feels like a warm hug and a hearty meal rolled into one. I came in for a quick bite and ended up discovering one of the best comfort dishes I’ve had in a long time — the Chicken Fried Steak Bowl. Perfectly crispy, tender steak, smothered in rich country gravy, laid over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes and veggies — it’s the kind of dish that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. Pure comfort food bliss. Portions are generous, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere has that classic diner charm that just makes you want to stay a while. If you’re in Palm Springs and want something satisfying and soulful, don’t miss the Chicken Fried Steak Bowl at Elmer’s. Trust me, it hits the spot!

No wait on a Wednesday morning. Service was fast and friendly. Food was great. Everything from classic diner to elevated diner. Atmosphere is old school dinner but for rich folks. Feels like an institution of the local area.
I had a craving for pancakes so I went to this iconic diner. Inside it was a little little bit dated, but the pancakes were great and so was the bloody Mary. They did a traditional German style with mixed berries, and I like that the combo came with eggs and sausages as well, so you have a nice plate of sweet and savory. It is a little bit expensive though but nice for a treat.
Parking: plenty of open parking. Food: German pancake or 'Dutch baby' was great. This is what breakfast should be. Breakfast doesn't need to be fancy or have a unique twist. Why is finding a good Biscuit and gravy so hard? Staff: super helpful and fast. Didn't feel rushed, felt welcomed there.
An old fashioned place with a solid 60-year history. The Baby Dutch Pancake alone worth the price of admission ($2 extra gets you two eggs any way you like them and ham or bacon or sausage. The family-founded company prides itself rightfully on using phenomenal vendors in the northwest. A rustic atmosphere, conveniently located. The service is spotty but the prices are practical.

Classic breakfast restaurant that expanded to cover lunch and dinner. Prime rib very good as was the fish and chips. Friendly service. Unusual Dungeness crab salad.
Went there with a group of 5 and no one like this place. This place was extremely overpriced and the food was just OK. Very disappointing expecting something much nicer.
Excellent, great quality, and tasty. Service was OK. The portions are big, please take that in mind. The German Pancake is a must do. parking is on the lot or the street nearby. Can be busy, go ear…

So I went into breakfast by myself. After a good hike, they seated me inside and I asked to be seated outside after they came and brought me water. They said, sure, after that I sat for about 30 seconds, oh there was also a single man sitting out there with a dog also,a woman I can only assume was the manager came out and told me that they were going to refuse service because I went outside after they had seated me outside. She asked me then if I had money.I showed her the money in my wallet and told her that I've been insulted and I refused to eat there now.I don't know why they the they Refused me service , i'm going to post a picture of what I look like , you guys draw your own conclusions. And to be fair, I didn't handle the situation graciously graciously, I called her a current and smashed out. Then I went pulled out a 1000 dollars out my account went back and showed it to her, I should have made her count. And told her they should not judge a book by it cover. I didn't stink I showered clean clothes I honestly don't I wasn't rude or acting shady. I honestly don't know what that lady's problem was.
